About Culswick

Culswick, located in the Shetland Islands, features the Broch of Culswick, an unexcavated coastal structure offering stunning views of nearby islands such as Foula and Vaila, as well as Fitful Head and Fair Isle. Standing approximately 3 metres tall on a rocky platform, the broch is marked by a large triangular lintel stone at its entrance, though the interior has accumulated rubble over time. Historical drawings from the late 18th and early 19th centuries indicate that the broch was well-preserved up to that period, making it a significant point of interest for potential planning applications in the area.
